Alice leaned in closer to my face, she smelt like a rose, believe it or not. “You don’t learn from your past do you?” she said.
I gave her a shrug. “Thought I’d give it a shot.”
“You can’t charm us.”
“Too bad, I’m starting to get bored of cocks.” She was still able to resist me, whatever; I moved my hand up along the side of her body, inching closer to her breast. “Hadn’t had a girl in a while. You know?”
“Where is he?” Alice’s voice lit up with authority. She wasn’t looking to play.
“Right here.” A voice called out to the two of us.
Alice and I both faced the entrance to the swimming pool room, watching Emily step over the Mandragora vines on the floor. In her grasp was Giovanni’s naked body, in her other hand, was an electrified kunai at his neck.
I shook my head at my partner. “Emily, you really shouldn’t have brought him here …”
“He was trying to escape,” Emily said. “Tried calling you, but you didn’t answer so …”
“Well you know I was busy trying to free people from the Mandragora thingy,” I spat.
“Reika, one text and you could have communicated that—”
“Enough!” Alice yelled.
Emily motioned her face to her. “And who the fuck is this bitch?”
“Take a closer look,” I said as Alice stepped between Emily and me.
“I’d rather not look at green tits—”
Something like ten or twenty jungle vines shot out from Alice, wrapping around Giovanni’s body, pulling him toward her. Emily refused to let go, Giovanni just got pushed into a tug of war for control over who gets to keep him hostage. He screamed and panicked, something tells me his sister’s current state wasn’t what he was expecting.
I went to shoot the vines. The pistol clicked twice. Totally forgot it was useless since I got down there. My body returned to its previous stance, covering my body in flames, turning me into the burning vixen of a pyromancer, filling my cupped hands with fireballs. I quickly tossed them at the vines pulling on Giovanni, burning the ones that hit, singeing the walls when I missed, releasing small plumes of black smoke.
Alice didn’t do much to stop me, much to my surprise. The act of controlling so many vines must be too much for her.
Or …
The sounds of water splashing came behind us. Looking back, I saw the Mandragora leap from its hiding place in the pool, running toward me like a maniac. Its controlling zombie vines were still connected to the people above, probably still moving slowly to the basement with us. I had to drop this motherfucker, and fast or we’ll have to face zombie bouncers and partygoers.
I made a flaming leap backward, a nice red glowing line of flames erupted in my wake. I took a step to the side, making sure the line of flames forged a flaming barrier between me and the Mandragora. It had to cross the line of flames to get to me, and that included the vines it shot out from its body, traveling in my general direction. I was safe for the time being, vines that tried to pass through the line of fires erupted into flames, littering the floor with blackened ash.
The Mandragora took a step back, confused at my power, confused as to what to do next. Its master was too busy yanking Giovanni back to her, fine by me. I took advantage and chucked fireballs at the Mandragora, igniting its body in flames. It wailed and cried out in pain like a maniac singing off-key in a choir. The fifth fireball slamming into its chest turned it into a billowing bonfire, a sixth one turned it into a heap of smoldering shit, let’s see you heal through that. The vines it was using to control the zombies turned into ash, freeing them from their trance.
With that fucker taken care of, I charged back to Alice, spewing the flames of my flamethrower out from my crossed hands. The heat alone was too much for her plant body, depended on the element of earth. The jungle vines that were close to dragging Giovanni to her loosened around his body, returning Alice.
My flames made Alice retreat to where I found her, back into the pool. The splashing waves of water that shot up made me take a quick step back. Fire was weak versus water. Too much water hitting me will put out my flames, and kill my Umbral reserves, which were getting to the low point.
Alice was backed into the corner of the pool, and I returned with Emily and a naked Giovanni with his cock swaying with every sudden movement of his body. I waved my hands about quickly, forging the ethereal doorway back to our office. I could tell by the frown Alice shot me that she didn’t like that, and the new wave of jungle vines launching away from her hands suggested she wasn’t done with us yet.
We bolted into the portal, dragging Giovanni with us. We were back on the other side of the city, back in our office. So was a single vine that came through the portal. It wrapped itself around my neck, trying to yank me back into the swimming pool room on the other side. A second vine slithered past me, inching over to Giovanni.
Alice was quick to get out of the pool, walking over to my still open portal smiling, trying to finish the job. As long as the vines were coming through, the portal will stay open. Now you know why I’m reluctant to use the portal to escape in the middle of a fight.
Emily tried to help and got slapped the fuck down by the third vine that came in. I ignited my body in flames again. It was a big risk since I was indoors in my own place that I kind of didn’t want to burn down, you know? But what other choice did I have? Fire was the only counter to earth, and my flame coat was the only thing that could burn the vines trying to cut off my flow of air to my brain.
The vines were burning, but slowly. My flaming coat wasn’t as vigorous. I was running out of Umbral energy to keep it strong. Alice was going to win, there was no way I could fight her in my state, not without a quick recharge. I kept on fighting anyways, kept on burning the vines that entered the portal.
Darkness covered the three of us suddenly. The glowing light from my portal faded away as did with the image of the club’s pool where we came from. My dimly burning flame coat also vanished. Turns out my Umbral reserves hit critically low levels, I wasn’t strong enough to fuel the portal, and so it vanished.
The vine around my neck became limp, so did the other two that passed through the portal. Looking back, I saw the long vines were severed right where the portal was. We were free.
“Reika,” Emily said after taking a deep breath. “We need to stop accepting jobs from demons, yōkai, and fae, okay?”
I smirked while lying down and looking up at the ceiling. “You’re preaching to the choir.”
Chapter Twenty-Two
Giovanni Mancini, the man we were hired to find by his sister Alice, who claimed he went missing and failed to mention she was also a fae Dryad. He wasn’t our guest here in our office suite, he was our fucking prisoner. So, I tied his naked ass to a chair pulled out from the kitchen, then tossed him a blanket to cover his nakedness.
I stood next to my desk with my arms crossed with Emily. We wanted answers. We wanted to know what was up with the deception from his sister.
“Where do we start with this guy?” Emily asked me.
“You can start by untying me,” Giovanni snorted.
“Why?” I said with a burst of mocking laughter. “So, you could try and run away like you did five minutes ago?”
“You two just gave the Russians and the fae two big middle fingers,” he said. “Just let me go, it’s safer for you and me that—”
“Buddy,” I cut in. “We saved your fucking life back there.”
“Yeah, just to do this,” Giovanni said. “You two ain’t any better than that plant bitch. Just a bunch of demons swingin’ for the wrong team.”
“That plant bitch was your sister.”
“Alice? Wait? What?”
“Oh, you didn’t know?”
“Fuck … they took her …”
I was gonna say more, but shut my mouth, and faced Emily handing her my car keys. “Hey, Emily, you wanna grab my car?”
She took the keys, giving
me confused look. “Your priorities are amazing right now, Reika.”
“We left it at the club, remember?” I said. “It’s still there and I’d rather the cops not know we were too.”
“Why me?”
“Like I said, better you taking it, than me,” I explained. “Every time shit goes down in this city, I’m there. If you’re seen driving away, fewer fingers will be pointed at me.”
“Then let’s just leave the car there until the morning.”
“And if someone checks the plates, then what? Get it out of there now before they do. I’ll watch over Mr. Chatty.”
She sighed, pouted, and protested, but in the end, ended up walking out the front door to flag down a cab to get my car back. I gave it two minutes just to make sure she didn’t come back unexpectedly and then felt my heart race with excitement.
I was alone and had a naked man tied up to the chair. And if the talk with the Russian demons was true, he was a fae. Unlike humans, they don’t die from succubus encounters. A sinful smirk appeared on my face as I approached Giovanni, ready to get the answers I wanted from him, the fun way and I had every reason to do so, those Umbral pills were left in my car. I needed a recharge.
I went to remove the wig on my head … only it wasn’t there. The damn thing must have fallen off without me realizing it during the fighting. It took me a while, like trying to start a car in the middle of the winter, but I managed to get my succubus lure going. Giovanni’s eyes locked into my figure, still wrapped in the tight fighting lace dress I wore, and Emily wasn’t there to object. I felt like a teenage boy left alone in his house to download and watch porn with the volume turned up. Nobody was going to catch me now, provided I hurried up before Emily got back.
“Hey, hun, sorry about all that,” I whispered into his ear, untying him from the chair. Giovanni was free to leave, but he didn’t. He kept looking at me with his flushing face, his forehead moistened in sync with my pussy.
“No, I gotta apologize for that outburst,” he said. “It’s not like me to say stuff like that to gorgeous women like you.”
The side of my head came to rest on his shoulders, sending the warm exciting vibes into his body, traveling up his neck into his head. My charm magic was swaying his ability to think straight.
“Been a long stressful day for me,” I murmured.
“Same here,” he said. “That fighting was something else, eh?”
“Good thing I came in to rescue you.”
“You rescued me—” A brush of my cheek against his created fake memories in his head. Memories that I alone came to his rescue and brought him to my office.
“Remember?” I said, gazing into his green eyes. “I had to get you out of there, everyone wanted to kill you.”
“Yeah, yeah that’s right.” He’ll believe anything, and as long as I had Umbral energy and kept in physical touch with him, he’ll do it forever. “Thanks for that.”
“I couldn’t imagine life knowing I wouldn’t be able to know you better.”
“Oh, you want to know me more, huh?”
“Of course,” I gently brushed my hand against his leg. “Tell me everything.”
“Where should I start?”
“How about the flowers that were going to be traded to the Russians?”
“Aw, yeah, that’s some crazy shit, I’ll tell you what,” he said. “They come from our world, the Lux. My folks kept a few things from the Lux stashed in their basement, just in case we needed it.”
He was getting hot being near me. So was I. I needed to get more information out of him, everything he knew, I had to know, before I lost control of my body and ravaged his. Just knowing that he was naked under the blankets was filling my head with dirty thoughts. Most of it was of thoughts of Alice and her body, which he is not, he was her brother. A male version of her, minus the vixen plant goddess look. I could use my imagination, fantasize about Alice, imagine his chest was her tits while I ran my fingers over them.
“Your folks? So, you mean your parents are?”
“Fae? Yeah, me, my sister, mother, and father, we all came from the Lux. Been living in the city for a while now. But yeah, back to my story. So, my family is loaded if you didn’t know, the nice thing about being a fae, we can use our magic and make the stock market work for us. So stupid me, I took some cash out the family account and went gambling with it. Lost it all and needed to get it back before my folks found out. That’s when this classy redheaded broad contacted me, said if I got the flowers from the Lux grown and traded to the Russians; they’d be a big payout for me.”
I moved forward, placing my lips on his briefly. I teased him with the promise of more with my tongue stroking his lip, before pulling my head back and asking him to, “Tell me more, babe.”
“My sister, Alice, well she loves plants, so I got her to grow the flowers. After that, she started acting different, had a hard time remembering things, and rarely came home at nights. Didn’t think much of it at first, just wanted my money back before I got in trouble.”
The flowers were the ones that could grow into Mandragora, controlled by Alice and possibly other Dryads that might be out there. I think I might have found the source of the missing people of New York, Alice, and the fae was turning them into zombies. And zombies don’t call home when they go out for the night, so of course, people would report them as missing. What were they doing with the zombies? My money was on using them as shock troopers to wipe out the local demon population, and the Russian mob that allied with them. Me included.
I kissed his neck and went to massage his chest, wishing it was Alice’s busty breasts my hands squeezed into. “So, when the flowers were blooming,” I said, pulling away from his neck. “You went to trade them to the Russians.”
“Yeah, that gal contacted me, she wanted all the blood packs the Russians had in storage. But that deal went to shit, the Mandragora attacked us, and turned some of the Russians into zombies.”
I was close, so close to figuring this shit out … Then my head got foggy. I couldn’t think clearly, I only wanted to fuck. I only thought about the minutes that passed since Emily was gone, and that they were wasted getting intel. I sent her away to feed, not to talk.
No … Talking was important, finishing this …
I peered into his eyes. I didn’t see him though, I saw his sister Alice. “You got all silent,” I said.
“Kinda hard to talk right now,” he said with an index finger pointed down at his crotch. “I got a problem down below if you know what I mean.”
Giovanni and I were in the same position. We needed an orgasmic release, and he wasn’t going to talk until he got the same thing. Fuck it. I needed his body. After I was fed, we could talk more. He was fae, he’ll survive this
With a wide smile showing my teeth I happily said. “I can fix that!”
I pushed my head forward, locking lips with him again, wrestling my tongue with his. A swift yank against the blanket pulled it off, exposing his nude form. For a moment I pictured myself kissing Alice, stroking the curves of her green skin body, until my hand touched Giovanni’s cock, reminding me I was with a man.
He was slightly hard. Looking down at his growth I said. “I thought it’d be bigger.”
“Got any magic to fix that?”
“I do,” I kissed him again, moving my right hand up and down along the shaft. He was a grower. I was impressed with the final size. “That did it.”
I teased him with a lick going up the length of his shaft, gliding my tongue from the bottom to the head. He looked down at me with an approving glare, not that I needed it. There’s not a man alive that didn’t enjoy the pleasure a succubus provided. Case in point, his moans were soothing to hear as I slid him into my mouth. I was bobbing my head up and down for two minutes after that, pleasuring him with my mouth and hand at the same time.
“Why did Alice want you?” I asked after I came up for air, moving my lips away from him.
“No idea; didn’t even know s
he was a Dryad. Those flowers I had her grow must have done something to her.”
Giovanni paused, suddenly frowning.
“What’s wrong?” I asked him.
He shrugged. “You stopped.”
Guess I was going to have to work him more. I held him by the hands, dragging him into my room with ease. The foreplay had already sapped a faction of his strength away, he was too charmed to realize my succubus powers were the cause of that. He wasn’t as strong when he first arrived; it made pushing him against his chest fun while watching him fly back onto the mattress.
I got on all fours crawling over top of him, giving him the luxury of undressing me from the party dress I still had on. I lost track of time at that point, having someone unzip and lift your dress off your body, sent a tingling rush of excitement throughout me. I remained still on my knees, sinking into the mattress fabric with my eyes shut.
I felt my panties slip down, then my bra unhooked. He wasn’t just undressing me, he was opening the door for the succubus to enter and take total control. And that she did when my eyes opened, they were glowing, but the charm I placed him in made him ignore that fact.
My hand reached down, guiding him up and inside of me as I straddled him. His hands took a hold of my hips, while he started pumping like an upside-down jackhammer.
“You know,” he said unexpectedly. “I think a Dryad’s controlling Alice; she was probably trying to get me to join them, back at the club. She’s probably getting ready for—”
“Shut up!”
“It might be something big.”
I pointed a finger down at the balls deep action. “This is the only big thing I care about right now.”
We continued to fuck, his hands still holding me in place by the hips. The mirror I had on my closet door gave me a rewarding view of the act. I saw my glowing eyes, my tongue licking my long fingers with lust, while my other fingers reached down, rubbing my clit until I felt a surge of energy jolt my body making it twitch and quiver. The feeling muted my ability to speak, forcing my glowing eyes to roll back for five seconds.
